Friday
November 9, 2018-Even before the deadline for the dreaded
Michuki rules to take effect, passengers are already feeling the heat.

This is after more than 30 people in Migori County were arrested and charged with
traffic related offenses as President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Government embarks on a
crackdown to restore sanity on the roads.

Among the 30
arrested yesterday are 6 passengers who had boarded a vehicle which had already
reached its capacity.

The arrest was
confirmed by Migori OCPD, Patrick Macharia, who said the six are in police
custody and are set to be arraigned in court to face charges of boarding already
full vehicles.

He said the
charges will send a warning to people boarding vehicles that have already
reached their capacity.

Macharia also
confirmed that over 25 public service vehicles had also been intercepted as
police embarks on the enforcement of Michuki rules.
